Thanks for the education on the two separate IP address. I know just enough to hurt myself :)~ So I should have ONLY typed in the 66.140.92.18.
And about her not being able to connect to me while I was in listening mode. I did have port 5500 open and routed to my computer. But me being the b home ownerb that I am... I didnbt have that filter turned ON, only created. I guess gnatbox will let you turn your filters on and off at will without having to recreate them each time.
